Nuts!!

All the squirrels I saw last weekend were digging around in the soil, trying to remember where they buried their nuts last year. This is the only one I found that was nut-less. Sorry about the annoying twig in front of it - I had to take the opportunities as they came before the little fellas scarpered, and this one turned out well, despite the slight obstruction.

Interestingly, I looked up the origin of the word scarper after writing the last paragraph - turns out it comes from good old Punch and Judy

A common grey - these guys were introduced to the UK and have ended up being more successful than our old red squirrels - a shame as we hardly ever see reds any more
